To Debbie, Duncan, Charlene and the whole Arsenault family my condolences. I had the pleasure to meet Al on several occasions and he was truly a wonderful person. I also had the chance to see him play with his son and Steve Mossberg which was a very special and moving moment, he will be missed.

Sharon and I send our love, prayers and condolences to the entire Arsenault family.

My blindness is my sight;
The shadows that I feared so long
Are all alive with light."

so sorry for your loss

Really sorry to hear this Duncan. My condolences to you & your family. As i read this i am listening to a track by Melvin Sparks who your dad told me he played with on occasion. It was a pleasure to know him and also play a couple sets with him as well.

My condolences to Duncan and the Arsenault family. Losing a parent is never easy. Back in the 90s I spent quite a few Sundays chowing down at Tammany Hall and watching Al play that keyboard that was strapped on like a guitar. Most times he had an ear to ear grin. Any one who knew him should consider themselves blessed to know someone who was so happy to be doing what they were doing. God bless.

sorry to hear about the loss in your family. My mother has been in the hospital since sept. with B.O.O.P. I can relate to your pain

Thanks everyone for all the support. Thanks Chet Williamson for writing such a nice article on my father in the Worcester Magazine too.

My family and I are planning a big Blues jam in honor of Al. If you are someone that my father played with and would like to be a part of this please contact me at - We are trying to contact as many musical friends of Al's as we possibly can.

It's going to be a great day of Blues music.
